VoiceBoo is a unique twitter application that allows you to voice verify your twitter account.

With so many fake twitter accounts floating around and the Verified Seal by twitter not able to verify accounts belonging to non-celebrities, VoiceBoo seems like a nice alternative to tell the world you’re for real.

You can voice verify your own account as well as challenge anyone on twitter to do the same in order to make sure they’re for real.

In order to voice verify your twitter account, you need to call up a phone number provided and key in a personal code followed by speaking out a phrase that would be given to you. After this the community can vote to give you a stamp of approval. Once you receive a sizeable amount of votes, VoiceBoo would add a VoiceBoo VerifySeal to your twitter background image.

Voice Verify your twitter account

VoiceBoo Says

With this feature, you can easily see which accounts the community think are ‘real’ and authentic and the ones that aren’t. If the account has a VoiceBoo Verification Seal on their profile then this means that they have been through our verification process and have had the community verify the level of trust that they place in the owner of the account.

If an account hasn’t been verified and you think that the owner is not the rightful person that the account portrays then you can use VoiceBoo Verify to verify the acccount.
